What the government is buying
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking facility maintenance services for a CRRC (Community Resource and Referral Center) location. CRRCs are VA facilities that provide outreach, case management, and supportive services for homeless and at-risk veterans. Facility maintenance work in this context typically encompasses custodial services, building systems upkeep, minor repairs, grounds maintenance, and other routine operations necessary to keep a veteran-serving facility functional and welcoming.
Services under NAICS 561210—Facilities Support Services—generally involve integrated combinations of support services needed to operate facilities, often including janitorial, maintenance, trash removal, and related activities. The exact scope of work, specific tasks, performance standards, and deliverables for this CRRC location see the solicitation.

- Be at least 51% unconditionally owned and controlled by one or more service-disabled veterans
- Have one or more service-disabled veterans managing day-to-day operations and making long-term decisions
- Be small under the NAICS 561210 size standard (typically measured by average annual receipts over three years; see the solicitation for the specific applicable threshold)

Self-certification through SAM.gov is required; eligibility protests may be filed by competitors or the contracting officer.
How to put together a competitive bid
SDVOSB facility maintenance contractors should focus on these competitive elements:
Understand the CRRC operating environment. CRRCs serve vulnerable veteran populations, so reliability, responsiveness, and sensitivity to the client population matter. Highlight experience with government facilities, healthcare-adjacent environments, or social services settings.
Price strategically. Facilities support contracts are often price-competitive. Analyze whether the solicitation contemplates hourly rates, lump-sum pricing, or cost-plus arrangements. Labor costs—including wages consistent with any applicable Service Contract Labor Standards (SCA) wage determinations—will likely dominate your price structure. See the solicitation for pricing instructions and wage determinations.
Demonstrate past performance. Government evaluators heavily weigh relevant experience. Prepare contracts from the last three years showing comparable scope, complexity, and federal or state agency clients. Include performance ratings, CPARS reports, or reference letters if available.
Address small-business subcontracting and staffing plans. If the contract value exceeds thresholds requiring a subcontracting plan, or if the VA requests a staffing plan with resumes, prepare these documents early.
Meet the tight deadline. With only seven days between posting and the October 23, 2026 deadline, immediate document review and rapid team mobilization are essential.
